Chapter 731 Who's this for?

Although Xia Wanwan was entangled with Huo Nanxiao and did indecent things, Xia Ningxi did not embarrass herself by finding an equally outstanding man, who happened to be Huo Nanxiao's nemesis.

Suddenly, everyone realized that Xia Wanwan's methods were not very clever. She almost couldn't even get close to Huo Nanxiao. Unlike Xia Ningxi, who could marry the richest man whenever she wanted and seduce newly powerful figures whenever she wanted.

Whether it's Huo Nanxiao or Li Yancheng, both are outstanding individuals in the capital city, the most accomplished people. Marrying either of them would guarantee a lifetime of comfort and wealth. In comparison, Xia Ningxi is far smarter than Xia Wanwan.

Fu Mingyan's eyes lit up, and she excitedly ran forward: "Young Master Li, what brings you here!"

Her voice seemed to be deliberately meant for others to hear; it was incredibly loud, as if she was afraid someone wouldn't be able to hear her.

Li Yancheng smiled and said, "Long time no see."

Fu Mingyan: "I didn't know Young Master Li was coming, so I didn't save you a seat. We'll just sit there. If you don't mind, would you like to sit with us?"

"I don't mind, but I'm afraid they will." Li Yancheng appeared to be very magnanimous.

The young men raised their eyebrows thoughtfully. They all had a bad relationship with Li Yancheng and knew about the feud between Li Yancheng and Huo Nanxiao. Li Yancheng's appearance at this time was not for fun at all, but purely to cause trouble.

Fu Mingyan actually led Li Yancheng this way, was she trying to see Huo Nanxiao and him fight?

Ji Feibai couldn't help but remind her, "Mingyan, it's probably not appropriate for them to sit here."

"What's wrong with it?" Fu Mingyan asked, puzzled.

Ji Feibai said, "Nowhere is suitable. Everyone knows the relationship between Li Yancheng and Nan Xiao. Last time, Xia Wanwan was almost half-dead from being played by him. If you bring her here, Nan Xiao will definitely be angry with you."

Fu Mingyan shrugged indifferently: "It's all in the past. Neither Brother Nan Xiao nor Xia Wanwan will bring up the past. Besides, Young Master Li didn't cause any trouble today."

Ji Feibai had a headache and lowered his voice, saying, "Don't you understand what I mean? Li Yancheng can't sit here. You need to find a way to get him out of here right now."

"I won't listen." Fu Mingyan chose to be selectively deaf, ignoring Ji Feibai's reminder.

She insisted on bringing Li Yancheng and Xia Ningxi back. Why did she let Li Yancheng leave? Xia Ningxi had already run away. If Li Yancheng hadn't pulled her back in time, would Xia Ningxi be sitting here?

Look at Xia Wanwan's face; she hasn't looked well since Xia Ningxi appeared.

Fu Mingyan didn't have any other hobbies; she just didn't want Xia Wanwan to have an easy time. Therefore, Li Yancheng was not only not her enemy, but also her great benefactor.

This also lets Huo Nanxiao see that Xia Ningxi is a thousand times, ten thousand times more sought after than Xia Wanwan. Only someone as blind as him would be interested in someone like Xia Wanwan.

Fu Mingyan had the waiter bring over all the red wine and snacks, and warmly welcomed the two of them.

When Huo Nanxiao returned, he saw Xia Ningxi sitting next to Li Yancheng. His eyes turned noticeably cold, and he was very displeased.

"What a coincidence, we meet again." Li Yancheng was extremely cheeky, knowing that Huo Nanxiao was in a bad mood, he deliberately made fun of him.

Li Yancheng deliberately moved closer to Xia Ningxi, the two of them almost touching, this scene was intentionally shown to Huo Nanxiao.

The young men stared wide-eyed, exchanged glances, and were momentarily speechless. They could only look at Huo Nanxiao, curious about his reaction.

Strangely, Huo Nanxiao remained completely calm, as if he hadn't seen anything. He walked straight to the opposite side of Xia Ningxi, sat down, and stared at her with sharp eyes, exuding an imposing aura without anger.

Xia Ningxi took a sip of juice, completely ignoring the anger in Huo Nanxiao's eyes.

Xia Wanwan took the initiative to speak: "Nan Xiao, I'm a little tired. Why don't you take me home?"

Not wanting to put each other in such an awkward situation, she took the initiative to suggest that Huo Nanxiao take her away from this troublesome place. If they sat together, they would inevitably be watched and gossiped about by outsiders.

However, Huo Nanxiao rejected the suggestion, saying, "The banquet has just begun, and it's not appropriate for me to leave now. You're not feeling well, so if you want to go back and rest early, I'll have Lu Qi take you."

"I'm not tired yet," Xia Wanwan changed her mind.

Fu Mingyan saw through Xia Wanwan's intentions and sneered, "Xia Ningxi just came back and you're already planning to persuade Brother Nanxiao to leave? Are you that scared? That shouldn't be the case. When you were standing next to Brother Nanxiao, you stood up straight. How come you're like a mouse seeing a cat when you see Xia Ningxi?"

Xia Wanwan replied, "Ning Xi and I are sisters, Miss Fu, please don't try to sow discord between us."

"Do I need to sow discord between you two?" Fu Mingyan laughed angrily. Everyone knows Xia Wanwan's character. When her family went to Xia Ningxi's workplace to make a scene, why didn't they think about sisterly affection? Now they're putting on an act. Who are they pretending for?

Fu Mingyan rolled her eyes at her and then kept giving Xia Ningxi food.

“Young Master Li, these shrimp are fresh out of the oven and taste delicious. Why don’t you peel them for Sister Ningxi?” Fu Mingyan asked.

“Okay.” Li Yancheng readily agreed and immediately put on gloves to peel the shrimp.

However, there are professional crab peelers in the banquet hall who can do everything for you, including peeling lobsters and crabs, so you don't have to do it yourself.

Li Yancheng understood that Fu Mingyan was trying to anger Xia Wanwan. The reason he listened to Fu Mingyan was because he also wanted to anger Huo Nanxiao.

After finally peeling a shrimp, Li Yancheng held it directly to Xia Ningxi's mouth: "Open your mouth."

"?" Xia Ningxi's lips twitched. She thought to herself, "Is this guy crazy? Peeling shrimp is one thing, but feeding it to people himself is another. With so many people watching, is that appropriate?"

Xia Ningxi tried her best to remain calm and declined Li Yancheng's offer: "No need, I can do it myself."

"Eat!" Li Yancheng added unhappily.

Xia Ningxi looked at him with bright eyes. She didn't know what was wrong with Li Yancheng. Their relationship wasn't close enough for him to feed her personally. Even Huo Nanxiao rarely did such a thing. Besides, she had no relationship with Li Yancheng. If she really ate this, she could imagine what the news would write about tomorrow.

Even if Xia Ningxi disregarded Huo Nanxiao's reputation, she still had to protect the Huo family's face. Huo Xiuyuan had indeed treated her very well, and she couldn't let the entire Huo family be humiliated because of this, could she?

She placed a small plate in front of Li Yancheng: "Put it here, I'll eat it."

"Okay, remember to eat everything I peel." Li Yancheng reminded her again, his eyes filled with warning, almost as if he was saying to Xia Ningxi: If you don't eat, I'll flip the table and make things difficult for everyone.

Xia Ningxi was convinced. She had always known that Li Yancheng had ill intentions and always came prepared. If she didn't do what Li Yancheng said, this guy was really capable of anything.

Xia Ningxi didn't want things to get ugly, so she simply agreed to his request.

Li Yancheng focused on peeling shrimp, while Xia Ningxi was responsible for eating them.

A group of people opposite them watched with strange expressions.
